I have a one more class to take so I'm currently signed up for online developmental Bio course. is this class going to be helpful for my DAT study? I'm a little worried because I tend to do worse on online classes, but I don't really see any other options,, should I keep it? or how about courses like animal behaviors?

Would be very useful! And it will get you in the self-study mode needed to be successful when studying for the DAT.
 
I think DAT is completely different subject. also there's very little developmental bio. bio section is just too big to say any one class will help. i took some bio classes thinking they would help but nope. DAT bio is different. but orgo/orgo2/biochem helps ALOT with chem section though
 
Depending on which DAT you get will depend if it will help or not. I had one DAT test that asked 2 or 3 questions about developmental bio, and another without any questions at all. I don’t remember any questions about animal behavior on either test, but there were a few questions about ecology. I don’t know if this help answer your question or not.

I agree! I had a handful of developmental Bio Qs on my test. I’m not sure how much animal behavior would help, but maybe interesting to learn. Pick the class you’re more interested in taking.
